Messages

In addition to normal channel messages, you will also receive messages from the server as well as information or error messages from Snak. Normally these messages are not marked in the nick column, but you can make Snak use "***" or "Server" for server messages, "Info" and "Error" for information and error messages respectively.

Other options controls whether the nicks are bracketed by "<" and ">". The <nick> style display matches the layout of older IRC clients like ircII.

The timestamps option will add timestamps to the nick column like this:
[9:54] pac_mania: was that a 1024x768 reduced to 800x600?
[9:54] Nelluk: hmm where do i set the desktop picture?

This is normally not necessary because Snak remembers when a particular message was received, and will show a help tag with this information if you place the cursor over the nick and wait a few seconds.
